    • Works great
I had an electric pencil sharpener that cratered. This one is better in that it works on batteries or direct plug in. Has 3 tips to choose from and a powerful motor. Set it anywhere and keep your pencils sharp.

    • Great for sharpening soft pastel pencils.
Being a pastel artist I have spent as much a s 50 to 60 dollars looking for the perfect pencil sharpener to sharpen my pastel pencils. They have never work very well, frequently snapping the soft pastel lead beforing producing a point on the pencil. But this pencil sharpener is the best I have found. No lie. It will snap the lead occasionally but for the most part I love it. A soft touch is the key. I hope this helps the pastel artists out there ... show more

    • Good, solid product
This pencil sharpener does its job well with adjustable degrees of pencil end point sharpness. With 4 AAA batteries it is heavy but makes it mobile.

    • Almost TOO sharp
This sharpener lets you choose from 3 different degrees of sharpness for your pencils. The sharpest one is TOO sharp for everyday use. Reserve that for finely detailed drawings; for anything else you'll just be breaking the point and resharpening. The middle setting is my choice for most uses, with the dullest reserved for wood cuts that don't have to be precise. That said, this is a very good sharpener - powerful and fast cutting. ... show more

    • Does not work all the time.
This pencil sharpener works great.... When it decides to work. More often than not I go to use it and it refuses to turn on. It is not the batteries. Something is defective with the design. I noticed whenever I dump out the pencil shavings and then put it back together it won't work for a week or month or whatever it decides. Then all of a sudden it will be working again. Don't waste your money. Poor design, poor quality and it is extremely frustrating. ... show more

    • Works great on coloring pencils!
Amazing product. I use it for my coloring pencils and they are all nicely sharpened and working better than a manual sharpener.

    • I would repurchase!
This sharpener was excellent. I've already used it many many times. The sensor for sharpening is perfect and has never clogged. It holds a lot of shavings. I like the option to plug into an outlet or to use batteries. I have done both and it's very convenient.
